still amazed how he calls us all friends and it shows how humble he is. hopefully 1 day i could meet him and have a good conversation

I wouldnt mind seeing a comparison between an old FD car and a current one to see what all has evolved over the years. And maybe depending how much work it would require bring it to current FD standards and give it one last event.

Can Canadians win the S650 give away ?

11:00 That focus / fiesta is sick!

Don’t tease like that , hope Luke Fink gunna get that seat dude would be a weapon 🇦🇺👍

Got my Chelsea Denofa BC racing 2023 FD champ shirt on and a new RTR update let’s goooo

RTR going to DMEC? That would be sick if RTR could take the FD and DMEC championship in a year

The new spec 5 for Conor shanahan have the master and the apprentice

I will bet that, the Spec 5D in the corner is the prize for james dean championship...

So happy for yourself, James Deane and the whole RTR team including the ripper who is Mr Ben Hobson !! To have 2 champions in 2 seasons shows the level you have set and the whole team have lived upto it. So proud of yourself and the team and I'm so looking forward to watch that final round and seeing James claim another title and becoming the first ever 4 time FD champion 🏆 RTR are at such a high level and it's so damn well deserved 💯👏

This man have been talking about mind strength/process/games for at least 15 years!!!! Pay attention.

Limitless amounts of money coming over to take down Europes budget builds :D Heinonen's(Champ) old s13 cost 100k, and most of these guys are just petrolheads doing it out of their pockets and mechanics doing it for free. A lot of old S-chassies and BMW's towed with vans. Only some big teams, like Shanahans and Wiecek and rich Swiss guys. I love that budget builds can still hold their own against big money teams. Money talks, but not only.

Please don't change a single thing with the OG livery on the mustang! i'd love to see it get a faithful recreation of what the original was

Great update Vaughn , id keep the old wipe as original to your last win , that paint is what i know as an American Drifter. well done for giving the lad , everything he needed to become champ , great team , great driver . great team boss . be safe from Dublin

Chelsea: "Pack your fucking shit in the trailer!" Vaughn: "Pack them nerds in the trailer!"

Man that thing is a 'bute Im gonna have to get my butt to autozone

Love the 197, motor looks already so wild for its time period. Little surprised it has the battery under the hood!

That falken green and blue 2007 mustang is iconic even for me just seeing it it’s so cool and in 07 I was 11 lol I loved when ford came out with that body style it looked so good and old school muscle but now the 1 and only turn off to those cars for me is the 3 valve I won’t touch them as much as I like them but I love the 2013 gt in grabber blue but for now I’m very very happy with my 66 coupe

fdj rtr

Hopefully, the Spec 5D is for Fanga Dan, as for the og Mustang Betsy would love to see both Ben and James have a go in it with some drift challenges between them and then you in the latest version. Other than that see if any of the old drift cars from that era are around and do some battles with them, another idea would be grid life, hyperfest etc as demos. With you now doing the carbon have you thought about doing the combo of that and kevlar to help with bumper/fender budget

Is there anything that you can do in your old comp car that you cannot in your current comp cars? Any sort of edge that old girl has over the new young bloods?

At 12:08 you can tell the new rtr car and zoom in on the dash I think it might be right hand drive, I really hope this thing is for luke fink

I lived by the shop XMP in Aliso Viejo and was in the parking lot when Betsy was being loaded onto the Falken trailer

Fink for spec 5 😮

Finger crossed for some potential explorer st parts in the future!

The og mustang!! I remember seeing that thing at hyperfest i think 2009, good times !! Then you came out to the first DOD at summit with the next version, good times good memories !!

hopefully not if 32 then you can put them on the trailer

Try to tandem the new and old FD Cars, with period correct tires. since everyone says the new cars are so crazy gripped up, would love to see how much faster they actually are

Award Winning Performance!

I am perpetually calling out dudes who hate on Ben, he's driving my favorite car and he drives it fuckin good! Love what you boys are doing, and I wish you luck at the House Of Drift!!! Also the Odi callout was INSANE haha!

Dave Eagan from Drift Games for the new Spec-5?

Love these shop vids. Also, pumped on the mustang making a return. Looks Like a good gridlife car.

not the old school mustang you won D1 usa vs japan making a comeback if you know you know 😉

can you tell us about the engine? 15:03

Seeing that a new demo car is being built for James just means he is hanging around RTR for awhile.

Compete the 05 mustang in a pro am event! I wanna see if it’s the size of the dog in the fight or the size of the fight in the dog!!!

The sn95 vs the s650 throw them up on the lift and show how drastically different they are with the sn95 being solid axle and what not. The spec5D is definitely going to drift masters whether itll be for Dean or someone else will be interesting

Bring on Luke Fink to the RTR team!

When is the new version 13-14 illuminated RTR grill coming out?

The giveaway car being an auto kinda sucks...

Did Vaughn just announce, without announcing that RTR is finally coming to Drift Masters next season? I really hope so.

Yeah Odi Is a BAMF

I think it would be awesome to see the old mustang compete at E town next season.

Ooh, new driver coming to RTR soon? Can't wait to see who it is.

Would be so cool to see a single event with all the retired fd cars and drivers compete, there’s a few kicking around these days

If I win the 2025 Pro Am Championship down here in Florida would it be enough to convince you to let me run Betsi (OG Falken livery S197) for the 2026 Pro Spec season? P.S. I plan to win the Pro Am championship in my 05 S197.

VGJ saying friends when referring to the audience is great. Shows respect. Sounds better than fans or subscribers.

Its impossible to not be excited with what happens in the lab. I would never get anything else done. Learning from people at the top of their game is more rewarding to me than any trophy or champagne out of a shoe. Seeing them make the connections and innovative leaps that put them at the top and possibly being a part in any way is just too good, whether anyone else ever knows or not.

bring it to lzfest and compete in the old girl !
